1939, Edward Hopper painted a picture of the house known as “Pretty Penny” for his neighbor, Helen Hayes.
To raise money to save Hopper’s birthplace, the Edward Hopper Preservation Foundation produced this stationery in 1985, noting that the house is the Nyack, NY home of the famous actress.
The original oil on canvas, 29 x 40 inches, is owned by Smith College Museum of Art, Northampton, MA.

PRETTY PENNY
– 235 N BROADWAY
This 1850s Italianate style house was the home of the “First Lady of American Theatre” Helen Hays and her husband, playwright and screen-writer Charles MacArthur. They named the house Pretty Penny because, as they said, ‘that’s what it cost.’ Painted in 1939, it was the only commission Hopper accepted and he did so begrudgingly. Over the years, famous people have owned the home and more have been entertained here, among them Laurence Olivier, F Scott Fitzgerald, Katherine Hepburn, Vivien Leigh, Marilyn Monroe, Ed Sullivan, Rosie O’Donnell, Russel Crowe, and Madonna.
